CMS Development & Customization

by Gabrielle Hendryx-Parker last modified 06/15/12

A Content Management System (CMS) is an extremely powerful tool that reduces reliance on your overworked IT department and puts control of your website in the marketing department where it belongs.

A great CMS:

  • Makes it easy for non-technical staff to quickly add and edit website content, whether text, images, audio, or video
  • Enforces a consistent design that adheres to your organization’s style guide and brand requirements
  • Provides security. Which employees are allowed to  see and do what?
  • Improves accountability and reduces publication “accidents”
  • Supplies standard interactive website functionality out-of-the-box like search, social media sharing, syndication, and link management
  • Integrates smoothly with 3rd-party software platforms like search engines, CRMs, and centralized authentication systems
  • Scales for growth and higher traffic as needs increase

Still, every organization has unique and specific requirements that require customizations to design templates, publication workflow, security roles, website functionality, navigation, syndication, and performance.

That’s where Six Feet Up comes in.
